Minor in Computer Science

A 16 credit minor in computer science is available. The minor is essentially 5 of the 6 courses that are considered the “core” of the CS major. This is a rigorous minor. This minor is not intended for casual students interested in computer literacy.

The requirements for the CS minor are:

CS 0401 INTERMEDIATE PROGRAMMING USING JAVA *

CS 1501 ALGORITHM IMPLEMENTATION

Any two of the following three courses:

CS 0441 DISCRETE STRUCTURES FOR CS

CS 0447 COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE

*CS 0401 requires programming experience as a prerequisite. A student without any programming background would be advised to take the 3 credit course CS 0007 Introduction to Computer Programming as preparation for the course.
